"The Nintendo land has some great mini games in it that we have fun for hours playing. To give you a perspective on who is playing our ages range from 24 to 16 playing and then sometimes my parents come over and play. There are a few games in Nintendo Land that are awesome with 5 people playing."
"We love how it can still play the original Wii games, and that you can choose to use the original Wii controllers (wiimotes, nunchuck, or classic game pad), or buy the new Will U remotes (which are just Wii remotes with the motion plus built in). In fact, if you have a kid with small hands you may want to consider keeping your classic game pad around (or buying one) as it's harder for younger hands to hold and use the GamePad as a controller for some games (like Skylanders), which is what you will be forced to use without an alternative."
"My children have a Wii at their father's and like the Wii U a lot more than the Wii, there is more to do...can play multi-player games (Nintendo Land) with one person using the game pad, doing different actions, then the other person(s) using remotes and the tv."
"I only play video games occasionally. My girlfriend can watch tv and if I get bored I can play the games without having to hog the screen."
"Even though I'm a PC gamer, I highly recommend the Wii U for fun with your actual friends."
With its innovative Wii U GamePad controller, it will not only introduce entirely new ways to play games, it will also transform how you connect with friends and enjoy entertainment. Wii U GamePad Controller: The Wii U console controller, the Wii U GamePad, will connect wirelessly and seamlessly with both the console and the television.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I wanted something I could pick up recreationally and just have fun with (although i do look for a deep meaningful gaming experience, as well). For one I think its stupid (and genius) that you have to pay a subscription fee for any online service. Then I also realized that no game in the xbox one or xbox 360 lineup sounded as fun as nintendo games I had spent hundreds of hours playing (wii sports first, then mario, donkey kong, mario kart!! my wife has certain shows that I like to avoid (ie real housewives).. this offers a perfect way to do it. my mom, sisters.. people who previously hated how video games stole the tv. Nintendo land is literally the most fun I've had on a game system with family since those first days of owning a wii. The smiles on her face and our laughs as we play these games more than cover the cost of the system. If you want that I've heard people say a gaming pc is better than xbox or PlayStation. If wii u was able to get this app (it already has netflix, amazon video, and hulu plus.. which work GREAT btw it even shows extra imdb content on the gamepad as you watch!!!). You could leave your wii u on and the second screen could recieve skype calls while you watch tv. Xbox one has gotten a lot of attention for being a total entertainment system but wii u could be comparable. You can't control dvr or ondemand content so I think xbox is going to be less seamless than people think."
"While looking for a replacement, I actually was surprised to find that it would be cheaper for me to just buy the whole system again, versus just the gamepad."
"Viene con el juego Nintendo Land que en realidad es un conjunto de minijuegos que nos ayudarán a familiarizarnos con el nuevo Gamepad y descubrir sus funciones, entre ellas el juego asimétrico, que es la posibilidad de que el jugador que tiene el gamepad tiene distinta perspectiva que los otros 4 (wiimotes)."
"This console is just great, for the family, the Deluxe edition is better because you got more storage and also Nintendo Land that has good family mini-games; the ability to play using only the gamepad and use the TV for something else is great if you have the Wii U in a shared area in the house."
"I own all the current generation systems and i have to say this one is my favorite, i love the game pad and how it intergrates itself with some of the games, there arent that many games out for the system ofcourse but the games that are out, are really very fun to use with the game pad."
"The only problem and it's a small one is that the main controller runs out of a charge kind of quick."

"I do wish this system came with the new Wii Sports game too (Called Wii Club) and also be aware that this system does not come with a Wii Stick Controller, just the game pad that can also be used like a Wii stick for certain games."
"My only complaint is that it came with super mario maker as a digital download and not a disc but the console came quickly and everything was in pristine condition."
"However, it doesn't deter me from getting hours of playing time on it, and I'll be grabbing a lot of cheap games once the next generation releases in the next year."
"Bought at Walmart for 298 with a controller protector cover ONLINE, my son is over the moon!"
"My wife plays this thing daily."
"My boy loves it he won't give me a turn at all."
"Don't buy this if it's over $299."

Find Best Price at Amazon"They have definitely improved many things like the item balance or if you fall off the race track, Lakitu fishes you out a lot faster compared to previous games. Game runs at a solid 60 fps, but when it is 3 or 4 player split-screen, the frame rate noticeable drops to 30 fps. Battle mode obviously had very little effort put in considering how you play on some of the race tracks (yes, the same race tracks you race on) that are barely modified. Btw, you should play battle mode with a large group of players; otherwise it turns into two people aimlessly wandering around a large empty race track trying to find each other. The 150cc AI would be a good start for what online play is like, considering my experience of the AI consisted of being shot at a lot and when I did get hit by the AI, every so often it would be multiple times in a row…. …which is nothing compared to how online play is like. I will admit that I have seen some pretty nasty moves that other players have pulled like people in lower places firing behind them a lot even though they are clearly in range of the racers ahead of them. I have ran into some instances where I was hit more times than the AI does in a single race."
"The music is fantastic, they updated some of the old songs from the previous games so some of them bring back great memories. I'm so focused on the road that I see flashes of cool stuff in the background but I'd love to really take the time to check it all out. The flying feature is new to me, there are times that you are launched in the air and you don't just get flung like in the Wii/Cube/N64 versions, now you have a glider that you can control...and it matters! This game is highly customizable, you can change the items available, the level of the CPUs, random tracks, this means you can tailor it to how you want to play. We spent 5 minutes looking for people to only see them blur by before being able to do real damage, the track was too tight to turn around and pursue easily. I do not like this change and only hope that Nintendo will release some battle arenas in an update, heck I'd pay for them in DLC."

"Peach's color scheme: Light Pink: Front, wrist strap clamp. Pink/Magenta: Back, rubber sleeve, wrist strap, 1&2 buttons. Yellow: D-Pad. White: Peach Crown Logo, A button. Also, these Wii Remotes are region free! So just pop those in, and push the small red sync button on the back of the remote where the battery compartment is, as well as the sync button on the front of your Wii/Wii U. One other great thing, is unlike the older Wiimotes, the sync button can be pressed through the case and rubber sleeve, so you *don't* need to remove the sleeve or battery cover to sync the remote."
"While I still have my Wii and WiiU I only had one Wii remote to pass among the two consoles and yes while the WiiU doesn't actually need the remote unless you're playing wii games on it or using a specific wiiu game that requires it it wasn't really needed for the WiiU."
"The extra remote isn't necessary to have fun with the Wii, but it eliminates the need to pass one remote between two players."
"The rubber grip is awkward and seems to interfere with the sensor, but it's easily removed and not necessarily as the remote is pretty durable."

"Product came fast with no issues, I love the detail on the pixalated Mario it looks great and colorful great buy!"
"Very cute and great quality paint for the Pikachu amiibo."
"I expected a lonely figurine in bubble wrap and as long as it works, I'm been happy."
"They have great build quality and are very collectible, but with the limited integration there isn't enough to warrant more than your absolute favorites. If you are a huge Punch-Out or Animal Crossing fan you can bet that you are going to be paying much more than retail to get your amiibo because of Nintendo's inconclusive and wishy-washiness on their 'discontinued' stance."
"Palutena is as she looks, stands tall and is very detailed for the size."
"It is one of my favorite amiibos, it is really nice detailed, this amiibo is really big compared with others and it also is really heavy, i would like nintendo use it in future releases not only in super smash bros for wii u and 3ds."
"the only bit of advice i have is not to pay more than retail on the us ones, you are better off buying from an international seller for half the price."
